Northern Rebellion 30 Aug - 2 Sep 2019

People in the North of England are rising up for the climate emergency - join us to Act Now!

What's going on?

XR MCR is hosting a four-day peaceful climate change protest at Deansgate in Manchester city centre from Friday August 30th. We invite you to join us in the Northern Rebellion.

Day by day - stage by stage, see what's happening at the Northern Rebellion and get involved.
